Comixology celebrates anniversary with two-day sale

Comixology is celebrating the anniversary of their entry into the digital comics market with a two-day sale on select comics available on their comics by comiXology website. The sale should begin … well, any minute now, if by midnight they mean midnight Eastern time. They’re also giving away an iPad and running a sale on comics on the comiXology app for the iPhone and iPad on Thursday only.

Here are the details from the press release:

Digital Anniversary Sale

● From Wednesday August 18th – Thursday August 19th, fans may login to Comics by comiXology on the Web* to receive 50% off select comics for 48 hours. Included in the sale are titles from DC Comics, BOOM! Studios, Robert Kirkman and comiXology’s own original graphic novel, BOX 13.

BOX 13: THE PANDORA PROCESS

● On August 18th, comiXology will also release the highly anticipated sequel to their self-commissioned comic, BOX 13. The follow up collaboration from Zuda and Harvey-Award Winning Creators David Gallaher and Steve Ellis, BOX 13: THE PANDORA PROCESS will launch allowing readers each new issue free for a limited time.

iPad Giveaway

● Finally, in celebration of the anniversary and the recently launched Comics by comiXology Web store and viewer, comic fans will automatically be entered into a drawing for an iPad with every web purchase made during the sale.**

David Steinberger, comiXology CEO, notes “Digital comics can look amazing on any device, PCs and Macs included, which is why we launched Comics by comiXology for the web. You don’t need to have an iPad or iPhone to enjoy digital comics, but we thought we’d make at least one web user’s day by giving them another brilliant way to experience digital comics.”

* Fans may also receive 50% of select comics through the Comics by comiXology iOS app on Thursday August 19th only.
** Purchase not necessary to enter. See Giveaway Rules for details on how to enter.
